For what it's worth, C&D (Jan. 2000) has the
'01 S gears at redline (7200) at:
1st: 38 mph
2nd: 66 mph
3rd: 96 mph
4th: 119 mph
5th: 143 mph
6th: 160 mph (6650 RPM)
Great point donv re engine speed at deceleration. Had never thought about it. (When I learned to drive a stick (in 1985, in a 1979 Corolla) i was taught to use the engine to slow the car, on account of not wanting to "wear out" the brakes. Boy did I get an earful when tried to pass that advice on at some point. What is the justification for using engine braking, if any?
